So, Spring has officially arrived! And, of course, with Spring comes "Spring Cleaning"... and, in the case of my desk at work, not a moment too soon! Really, it was less like spring cleaning and more like an archaeological dig. I found catalogs that I hadn't seen since last Easter and sermon notes from about six months ago. Thankfully, no petrified PB&J sandwiches or anything...
It got me thinking of how the Lenten season is sort of like spiritual spring cleaning. We study and pray and fast and ask God to wipe away all the cobwebs and junk that clutters our spirit and dulls our Christian lives. We may discover gifts and talents that we forgot that God had given to us. We rediscover ourselves and our relationship with God.
So, happy spring cleaning to you all -- and blessed Lent, too!
